It turns out that Julia is ~a lisp, just with a weird syntax. If you look at the metaprogramming facilities, all expressions are first turned into s-exprs while parsing. There is no problem having a LISP syntax for Julia, and in fact this has been implemented! (https://github.com/swadey/LispSyntax.jl)

The REPL had a patch, https://github.com/swadey/LispSyntax.jl/issues/36, but for some reason it didn't get released 3 years ago when the patch was actually created.

Great example of building something fun not because we should but because we can :)
My take on "Lisp in Julia" using deprecated-but-still-parseable syntax instead of a string macro: https://github.com/christopher-dG/jlisp
I should probably put some examples in the readme.
